Top 20 Most Common Insects in Uruapan

Bombus sonorus is a non-woven insect from the family of bees and bumblebees (Apidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1837 by Say.

A large butterfly with a wingspan of 8 - 11 cm. The females are dimorphic, either resembling the male or dark forms lacking the cream median and postdiscal bands contrasting with deep black ground colour.

The state insect of Montana, mourning cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) owes its name to a visual comparison with a girl who, disliking mourning, allows a few inches of color to show from under her mourning garb. Among the longest-lived butterflies, individuals may persist for as long as eleven to twelve months. It is a powerful flier, with vagrants often found many miles from the usual migration paths.

The western spotted orbweaver (Neoscona oaxacensis) has a large, round abdomen that's brown with white spots. It builds its webs in open areas, making it easy to spot. Its webs are circular like other spiders, but instead of making a stabilimentum web like other orb weavers, its webs are more sporadic and spaced out.

The Stenomacra marginella can be identified primarily with the bright-orange borders around their brown bodies. They are commonly found around short grasses nearby streams due to their affinity for moisture. As a result, they can swarm up the bodies of trees during floods.

The common Eastern Firefly (Photinus pyralis) is not a type of fly, but instead, it's a beetle. It has two sets of wings, but the males use these wings for flying while the females have shorter wings, so they do not fly. These fireflies glow to attract mates and scare off predators. The glow lets predators know that the bug is poisonous if consumed.

The queen butterfly (Danaus gilippus) is a North and South American butterfly in the family Nymphalidae with a wingspan of 70–88 mm (2.8–3.5 in). It is orange or brown with black wing borders and small white forewing spots on its dorsal wing surface, and reddish ventral wing surface fairly similar to the dorsal surface. The ventral hindwings have black veins and small white spots in a black border. The male has a black androconial scent patch on its dorsal hindwings. It is found throughout the tropics and into the temperate regions of the Americas, Asia and Africa. It can be found in meadows, fields, marshes, deserts, and at the edges of forests. This species is possibly a close relative to the similarly colored soldier butterfly (or tropic queen; Danaus eresimus); in any case, it is not close to the plain tiger (Danaus chrysippus) as was long believed. There are seven subspecies. Females lay one egg at a time on larval host plants. Larvae use these plants as a food source, whereas adult butterflies feed mainly on nectar from flowers. Unpalatability to avian predators is a feature of the butterfly; however, its level is highly variable. Unpalatability is correlated with the level of cardenolides obtained via the larval diet, but other compounds like alkaloids also play a part in promoting distastefulness. Males patrol to search for females, who may mate up to 15 times a day. Male organs called hair-pencils play an important role in courtship, with males with lower hair-pencil levels being selected against. These hair-pencils may be involved in releasing pheromones during courtship that could attract female mates.

The animal belongs to the genus Neoscona. The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1904 by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge.
